Also are there any tweaks to the settings i can make for some speed improvements as on occasion it will hang for a few seconds or freeze when changing song causing me to have to force reboot probably not helped by having 20600 songs or there abouts on it

- get the mks5lboot tool for you operating system, you can get a link for it at https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/IpodClassicPort- see the README file to learn how mks5lboot works (mainly enter DFU mode on iPod and run a command on your PC), actually the README file is at https://github.com/Rockbox/rockbox/blob/master/rbutil/mks5lboot/README- if there is a bootloader installed on your iPod then uninstall it using this command "mks5lboot --bl-uninst ipod6g"- to install the bootloader in single mode use this command "mks5lboot --bl-inst /path/to/bootloader-ipod6g.ipod --single"
